What is the best factorised form of 7x²y − 21xy² + 14xy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7xy(x − 3y + 2)

The direct answer is A: 7xy(x − 3y + 2). Find the greatest common factor of all three terms. The numerical coefficients 7, 21 and 14 have greatest common factor 7. Each term also contains x and y: 7x²y ÷ 7xy = x, −21xy² ÷ 7xy = −3y, and 14xy ÷ 7xy = 2. Therefore 7x²y − 21xy² + 14xy = 7xy(x − 3y + 2). Expanding option A gives 7x²y − 21xy² + 14xy exactly. Option B is algebraically equivalent to A because it has only taken out 7x; it is not the best or greatest-common-factor form requested. Option C is also algebraically equivalent to A after distributing the factor, so it has not extracted the greatest common factor completely. Option D expands to 14x²y − 14xy² + 14xy, which changes the coefficients and is incorrect. The word “best” signals that the greatest common factor should be removed. Memory cue: compare every term and take the largest numerical and variable factor common to all of them.
